New York, Dec. 2.-R. G, Dun 4 Co.,
in their weekly review of trade, say:
Speculative booming and commercial en-
barrassments, anxietics abroad and uncer-
tainties connected with the meeting Of
Congress, have made up the week. In
nearly all the speculative markets there is
furious excitement, corners abound, and
artificial advances are forced by powerful
cliqucs, aided by abundance OF money.
But prices check legitimate business, in
dustries are hesitating, and monetary siin-
gency at many points results in slow col
lections and some important failures. At
Denver collections are fair and money in
increased and sharp demand; Kansas City
collections are dull and money close; at
st. Paul collections are fairly satisfactory,
and at Omaha fair, with money easier; at
Milwaukee the demand is urgent,
the market stringent and collec-
tons somewhat backward; at Chi
cago speculative demands are increas-
ing, and meanwhile calls from the country
do not abate; at Detroit business is some
what quiet and the grain trade requiring
less than usual, but, though money Is
easier, the rates are Z 10 per cent; at
Cincinnati the banks have no money for
outsiders, and the market Is close at 10 Z
per cent; at Cleveland deposits improve,
but money is still closc at Philadelphia
collections are somewhat slow, heavy
blocks OF paper await sales, and considera.
BILE New York paper is being offered; at
Boston western paper is being Offered at Z
per cent, some Of 1t indonsed by banks,
while the home demand is large.
"Ihe dry goods trade is moderate, as
usual for the season, without improvement
in woolcns; considerable sales of cassimeres
at prices only little below last year are
reported, aud in overcoa,ings prices arc
considered low; but recent advances in
cottons are sustained in sales.
"The boot and shoe trade is in good
shape, but leather is dull and hides de-
pressed.
"In groceries there Is large volume Of
business, but speculation in coffee has
driven out buyers, 10 that quotations an,
entirely nominal, and the Sugar Trust has
advanced the price Of refined. sf"i
"Iron still hesitatcs, though the bcsI
grades are scarce, and prices ut Pittsburl
tend lower for all grades except charcoal.

age OF demand, nails are dull and lower,
and steel rail buyers hold OIL. The hnlting

partly because Of foreign sales, partly the
result Of rate displays, and partly because
late returns show nearly M large AN in

wheat market has risen . cents and corn
as much, with great excitement. Oil and

Growing Old.

Yes, we are all growing old, though
unconsciously, and the foot of Time
falls as softly as ever, and the current
of life flows on as smoothly as ever
indeed, the fuller the current the more
noiseless the flow; and months and
years are, after all, so very much alike
that they pass away without special OBJ
servation and we begin to get old
before we think of it; and when we sit
down to a simple sum in arithmetic
the subtraction of the year of our
birth from the current year-we are
astonished at the answer, and are so
doubtful of its correctness that we go
over it second time, but always with
the same result. Children grow up
round us, but we get used to that, and
are so busy that we seldom stop to COM
pute their ages and realize the swift
flight of years. The wife who has
stood lovingly and faithfully at our
side so long never changes and is al
ways the fair young bride of the old
and happy days. Though his hair may
have grown gray in some way that we
do not understand, and his step may
seem little less elastic and firm than
it was, the husband does not seem to
have changed much, after ALL He is to
us the same strong, manly one whom
we loved so much and to whom we
confided so much just little while ago.
To be sure the few friends of our
youth that remain are all gray-headed /;
but we do not think much of that, for
all seem to be using the same fashion
able hair-dye. Some one-he may have
been philosopher-has said that if we
doubt whether we are really growing
old we should look in the face of a
friend whom we have not seen in
twenty years. The writer tried that a
few years ago. He did more-he looked
in the face of friend whom he had
not seen for nearly forty years. What
his friend thought of him he does not
know. We were both too polite to eX-
press our thoughts. He knows that he
kept wondering, and wonders yet
what had happened to his friend that
he should look so very old.-Erchange.

The Fathers Word.

A traveller, following his guide amid
the awful Alpine heights, reached
place where the path was narrowed by
a jutting rock on one side and terri
BILE precipice on the other. The guide,
holding on to the rock with one hand,
extended his other hand over the preci-
pice for the traveller to step upon and
pass around the jutting rock He hest
tated, but the guide said, "That hand
never lost man." He stepped upon
the hand and passed on safely. The
child of God who takes the Savior as
his guide in this world of darkness and
danger has the help of an unfailing
Hand. Who that has ever trusted him
has been Disappointed, He stretches
out his hand for our help and deliver
ance. He holds us by his right hand
in the midst of dangers. And he has
said: " My sheep hear my voice, and l
know them, and they follow me; and |
give unto them eternal life, and they
shall never perish; neither shall any
pluck them out of my hand. My Father,
which gave them me, is greater than
all, and no man is able to pluck them
out of my Fathers hand" "That
Hand never lost a man." Blessed are
they who can lie safely within It's hol-
low, protected by its almighty grasp.

Your Children.

All! the welfare of your children has
become study with some of YOU
what to teach them, what example to
set before them, how to curb that i'm
petuosity, how to fret hat sluggishness,
how to control that evil proclivity, how
to meet the duties you owe to your lit
tie ones. SIS it well with the child?"
Sometimes you get discouraged. Just
at the time when you think you have
extirpated the last evil proclivity the
old habit breaks out in new place, and
though you say it to no one else, you
say to yourself: GO wonder if anybody
else has such trouble with their chill
dren as / have?" o Christian brother,
every Christian man has right to take
a hopeful view of his children! Evil
in childhood is not the precursor of
coming ruin. When you were their
age you were no better, and, if common
report in regard to some of you is true,
you were worse. All! my friends, Gods
blessing hovers over the heads of the
righteous, and though their children
may go wrong and their behavior may
the lads. Many a Christian parent.
after long years of praying and watch
ing and struggling and despairing in
regard to a child, has left him vaga-
bond, but by the rivers of heaven and
under the arches of eternal salvation
has, after awhile, celebrated the return
of that prodigal and held high jubilee
in celestial palaces because that, after
all, after all, after all, it was well with
the child.-Tdlmoge

A Monkey Hero.

A nobleman had favorite monkey,
large orang-outang. This monkey
was very much attached to his master,
and to the baby boy, who was the pet of
the whole family. One day fire sud
denly broke out in the house, and
everybody was running here and there
to put it out, while the little boy in his
nursery was almost forgotten; and,
when they thought of him, the stair
case was all in flames. What could be
done? AS they were looking up and
wondering, large hairy hand and arm
opened the window; and presently the
monkey appeared with the baby in his
arms, and carefully climbed down over
the porch and brought the child safely
to his nurse. Nobody else could have
done it: for man cannot climb like a
monkey, and is not nearly so strong.
You may imagine how the faithful
creature was praised and petted after
that. This is a true story, and the child
who was saved was the young Marquis
of Kildare. Children's Treasury.

stand pinch and face a storm; that
would rather eat an honest crust than
fare sumptuously on unholy gains; that
gladly gives up its couch of ease to sally
off on its mission among the outcasts;
that sets its Puritan face like flint
against fashionable sins. We talk
glibly about taking up cross" but
cross is intended for somebody's cru
cifxion. On Calvary's cross we know
full well who bled away his precious
life. On our cross, self is to be the vic
tim. Paul the heroic was emphasizing
this fact when he commanded Chris
tians to mortify their members which
are upon the earth. The American
Revision of the New Testament hits
the sense of this passage more accu-
rately: d" Put to death your own mem
bers," etc. Loyalty to Christ often de-
mands the plucking out of the right
eye and the amputation of the right
arm. The sublime glory of Abraham's
Offering really was that he was willing
to thrust the knife through the very
heart of SELF Oh, it is not the taking up,
it is the giving up that makes strong,
athletic, heroic Christian.-Dr. T. l..

A MOtherly Dog.

A Kentucky gentleman owned a hen
and collie dog which were great
friends. The former recently Matched
a fine brood of chickens, and the dog
watched over the family with great
care. A few days ago the hen was
accidentally killed. Shep was much
troubled. He at once assumed the
charge of the motherless flock, got them
into his kennel at night, where they
nestled close to his shaggy side, and
has since cared for them faithfully.
There are many hungry dogs who might
think that this collie would have done
much better if he had eaten up the
chickens instead of taking care of them
but our young readers will not agree
with them. -ETchdnge.

Wonders Of the Microscope.

had read short articles in the papers
about the wonders seen under the mi
croscope; but that is quite different
from seeing them for ones self, and 1
shall never forget that afternoon when
my Sabbath-school teacher invited our
whole class to spend the evening and
look at a box of wonders or little glass
slides that came with microscope from
Sadtler's. These specimens, or objects
on glass, were neatly labeled and stood
beside the instrument, which was of fine
power, bright and shining. Fred Hal
liday took up one of the pieces of glass
and looked at it curiously. "There
isn't anything on this one" he re-
marked. care you quite sure?" asked
Miss Tracy. "Look again" "Oh,
now see just the faintest little dots"
Look at them under the microscope"
We all took look separately and saw
that these dots were really young oys-
ters-you could see their mouths open.
Then we saw the sea-worm, covered with
tiny but perfect anchors. An anchor
is of such beautiful shape l have often
wondered how people first thought of
it. The sea-worm uses them as sup
ports and adherents. Next the impet
showed a tongue so sharp that it cuts
through solid oyster-shells with case.
A beautiful piece of lace-work, woven
by no mortal hand, was the eye of an
insignificant, short-ived but destructive
moth. With what instruments of tor

ton which Miss Tracy told us in one
day is forty ounces in weight, proving
the need of cleanliness of body for pu-
rity and health A bit of carnelian-
like stone looked perfectly smooth, yet
under the microscope it is covered with
pieces of which it is composed, each
one sharp and jagged as so many tiny
rocks. The most wonderful object to
me was a glass that had no mark, APP.
parently, on it. If had seen it in q
GLACIERS box should have said there
was nothing on it whatever; but as the

Not Self, but Christ.

There is more pulp than pluck in a
great deal of what passes for piety. Ii
is an audacious attempt to get free
ride to heaven in drawing-room car,
with plenty of select company and good
fare on the road. Will DIR. A. be in
his pulpit to-day? Will the music be
up to the mark? Is it likely to clear
off? Then I'll try to go to church
to-day" With such soiloquy on
Sabbath morning, how much grace is
there likely to be left after the wear
and tear of the week? The piety that
Christ smiles upon is piety that will
